This programme is designed to help you specialise quickly and develop as an expert in international management from the very first year of the Master’s cycle. SCBS is one of the few schools to offer this opportunity so early on.
In your second year, you deepen this path by hyper-specialising in this field. The International Business Management track combines theory and practice in order to prepare you effectively for entry into the workforce, whether through a work-study placement or the various internships offered within the classic track.

The specialisation International Business Management
International business is increasingly shaped by geopolitical fragmentation, regulatory divergence, currency and supply risks, and the need to adapt propositions to local institutions and cultures. Cross-border growth therefore requires more than market knowledge: managers must evaluate country attractiveness, structure partnerships, negotiate across cultures and make responsible decisions under uncertainty.
The pathway develops the strategic agility and intercultural judgement needed to manage international expansion and coordinate geographically dispersed stakeholders.
